Hi Isaac yes I have my palm pilot in the cradle which I can access through active sinc via the USB. Regarding mobile device it announces zero items and when I tried to set it up it did not recognise the braille note as a mobile device. cheers Val ----- Original Message ----- From: "Isaac Obie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 9:08 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] braille terminal
Sarah, when you use activesync, you use the USB port. that's what I use. then I open up Windows Explorer and it takes the files wheever I want to move them. the Braillenote is under "Mobile device". that is where I go to find the braillenote. That's where I cut and paste files. Isaac On Tue, 19 Jul 2005, Sarah Cranston wrote: > I don't think Device Mangler will have the serial connection in it.
